Dean William C. Warren, Michael I. Sovern
Faculty Scholarship
It would be virtually impossible, even if I were to preempt this entire issue of the Columbia Law Review for the purpose, to document fully the monumental contributions William C. Warren made to the Law School during the seventeen years of his deanship. I can hope only to touch lightly upon them, leaving the reader to admire the foresight, the energy, the generosity of spirit, and the long hours of dedicated effort which enabled him to accomplish so much.

There were Whiz Kids before McNamara, and never more than during the tenure of the late Thomas E. Dewey as District Attorney of New York County. Only thirty-three years old when he became special prosecutor for the investigation of organized crime in New York and thirty-five when he took office as District Attorney in 1937, Dewey surrounded himself with a remarkably talented group of young lawyers. Frank Hogan, for example, was thirty-five in 1937, Charles Breitel all of twenty-eight. Stanley Howells Fuld, who had graduated from the Columbia Law School one year after the District Attorney, was thirty-four. Nine years …

Marginal Cost Pricing, Investment Theory And Catv, Victor P. Goldberg
Faculty Scholarship
In his article, Marginal Cost Pricing, Investment Theory and CATV, James Ohls makes a number of erroneous assertions concerning the optimum pricing of CATV. Most of his problems stem from a failure to properly define the environment in which the optimum price is to be set and the role that an optimum price should play. If one alters Ohls' implicit (and sometimes contradictory) assumptions and if one keeps in mind the purpose prices should serve in an economic system, a number of Ohls' conclusions are altered.
The Identity Of Legal Systems, Joseph Raz
The Identity Of Legal Systems, Joseph Raz
Faculty Scholarship
Laws are part of legal systems; a particular law is a law only if it is part of American law or French law or some other legal system. Legal philosophers have persistently attempted to explain why we think of laws as forming legal systems, to evaluate the merits of this way of thinking about the law and to make it more precise by explicating the features that account for the unity of legal systems. Various theories have been suggested but none has been accepted as completely satisfactory, and the continuing debate owes much to the intricacy of the problems involved. …
